I am so happy with this hardtop gazebo. It took 4 adult men about 5ish hours to assemble but sounds like it was pretty straightforward. I am in the Pacific NW and it has held up against rain so far and provides great shade coverage. Most importantly, it's helping to keep debris from all of our trees from ruining our outdoor furniture. We've strung up solar lights inside and it's a lovely little haven now. If I could ask for one thing to make it better, it would be some kind of rain gutter to attach and guide rain flow to a designated area. Otherwise it is a wall of rain when we are sitting under it. Otherwise, highly recommend.
